Class Script

A script that controls the behavior of one or more entities in a level. Each script starts out containing a list of tasks that should be performed in sequential order. To complete a given task, the script repeatedly calls the task's act() method, which performs actions in an attempt to complete the task. Each time the act() method is called, it returns a TaskResult, indicating what action should be taken next by the script:

Finished: Move on to the next task.
Wait: Wait the given amount of time, and try the task again.
DoFirst: Perform the given list of subtasks first, and then try the task again.
DoInstead: Perform the given list of subtasks instead.
Failed: The task could not be completed; notify the parent task (if any).

Note that DoFirst and DoInstead can be used to spawn sub-tasks, leading to a depth-first "tree" of tasks.

When the last task is complete, the script will loop back to the beginning; if you don't want the script to loop, then add an EndTask to the end of the the script's task list.

To Do: Add interrupts

Method Summary
	`__init__(self, *tasks)` Create a new script.
	`check_interrupts(self, level)`
	`check_timeouts(self, level, duration)`
	`step(self, level, duration)` Perform a single action for this script.

Instance Variable Summary
	`interrupts`: A list of 'interrupts' that we should check (how often?).
	`update_delay`: How long has it been since the last time this script's update was called.
	`update_interval`: How long should the game engine wait between calls to this script's update.

Class Variable Summary
`bool`	`debug` = `False`

Method Details

init(self, tasks)
(Constructor)*

Create a new script.

check_interrupts(self, level)

check_timeouts(self, level, duration)

step(self, level, duration)

Perform a single action for this script.

Instance Variable Details

interrupts

A list of 'interrupts' that we should check (how often?). Each interrupt is a pair (Condition, task), where we'll jump streight to task & report the interrupt.

update_delay

How long has it been since the last time this script's update was called.

update_interval

How long should the game engine wait between calls to this script's update.
